The SparkFun Guide to Processing teaches you to craft your own digital artwork and even combine it with hardware—no prior programming experience required. Over the course of the book, you’ll learn the basics by drawing simple shapes, move on to photo editing and video manipulation, and ultimately affect the physical world by using Processing with an Arduino.

Work through an array of projects that increase steadily in complexity to:

Animate an abstract clock that changes color with the time of day
Tint, rotate, and translate photos to create a digital collage
Write a maze game that you can play with a Makey Makey
Create a weather dashboard with live data scraped from the Web
Build an Arduino-based lamp that reacts to Processing data

Art and programming aren’t mutually exclusive, and with Processing as your digital paint brush, you’ll code your own gallery in no time.

Note: This book is available for preorder and is expected to released in June 2015.
